Doc here, a man who some say once had one of best heads of hair in upstate NY as a "yout" in the 1990's, only to have that hair be struck down by the forces of evil. It was as if millions of hair stylists suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I felt something terrible had happened. On my head.

"The Force Was Strong In This One"
Doc, I haven't had much to report on in the last few months, hence the lack of an update for readers. I've been sidelined by a lack of business travel all spring and summer it seems, however, a number of my trips were packed into recent weeks. I have been looking forward to the grueling schedule though because it would give me a month of various theater visits, among them BNA and 15th Ave. and a few failed attempts to find a replacement venue for the deceased Westwood Theater in Toledo (thanks to Gloryhole Nancy & T for some suggestions).
While most readers are familiar with 15th Ave by now, I do have to say that they should take a look at stories about BNA (or Berlin News Agency) outside of Philly. (Just type BNA onto the Journal’s search box!) It's a great spot, with a likelihood of even seeing my gal pal @KimInPublic there — or even better yet at a Garden State rest stop — if you're in the area. However, this report will focus on a recent late night encounter at 15th Ave.
As usual, my spat of theater visits was filled with many hours and dollars worth of waiting in anticipation for a couple to arrive, and, and in the end finding out it just wasn’t to be that night. But, this night, I had in the back of my mind Item No. 2 on the list of The Lizardo Commandments: “good things cum to those who wait” (and shower and act gentlemanly, I might add).
A late September week happened to be a big week for friends of The Journal in Chicagoland. Fellow field reporters and celebs Anaconda (@MSexualHealer) and @GingerSquirts50 were both rumored to be coming to town that week, and I had some business in town, as well. We tried to borrow the Lizardo LeerJet to fly @KimInPublic in for her 15th tour and formal introduction to Doc... but Doc’s people told us it was on lock down in the maintenance hangar for shag carpet shampooing. (ed. note: True, and the mirrored balls needed some TLC)
